More details on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' dramatic appearance and vote on the House floor - her first since she was shot in January - during Monday evening's vote on the debt-ceiling compromise bill:
Giffords, accompanied by her chief of staff, entered to a prolonged standing ovation. She was hugged by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Giffords walked to her seat and sat down to vote.
Democrats cheered more when Giffords voted yes, CNN's Deirdre Walsh reported. Pelosi wiped tears from her eyes.
Dozens of Republicans and Democrats mobbed around her, and she stood to greet them.
